January 7 – Old Rock Day

Contrary to what you might think, today is not all about celebrating the rock-n-roll classics of yesteryear. Rather, it has to do with appreciating fossils and rocks of all kinds. Some suggestions I found for celebrating today include encouraging children to adopt a pet rock, grooming a rock garden, making jewelry out of beautiful stones, painting rocks, or making a rock stack.

However, based on the snow cover map linked below, very few people in the northern part of the Northern Hemisphere can get to outdoor rocks today!

Hi, so glad you are here!

Every day has a celebration! Some days celebrate a certain food, idea, or activity. Sometimes a day is set aside to remember or to increase awareness of a need. Each and every day should be celebrated by spending time with family and friends enjoying whatever time we are given.
